K.P.Vivekanada's family has been in politics for a long time and he is the heir to this legacy. K.P.Vivekanda's father, K.M.Pandu held sway in this constituency for quite some time, serving as Sarpanch and muncipal chairman. K.P.vivekananda took on this mantle in 2000 and became a member of TDP. He has taken various initiatives for the welfare of the local youth.

In 2009, he contested as alliance-candidate of TDP but was lost to the independent candidate, Koona Srisailam Goud. He contested again in 2014 elections on behalf of TDP and secured the much awaited victory. When Telangana State came into being and TRS emerged as the ruling party, he moved into TRS. In the 2018 Assembly elections, Vivekananda contested from Qutbullapur constituency and defeated Srisailam Goud with a majority of 41,500 votes. This is his first success as an MLA from the TRS party.
